The Newberry Library, an independent research library in Chicago, Illinois,
invites applications for its 2004-05 Fellowships in the Humanities.
Newberry Library fellowships support research in residence at the Library.
All proposed research must be appropriate to the collections of the
Newberry Library. Our fellowship program rests on the belief that all
projects funded by the Newberry benefit from engagement both with the
materials in the Newberry's collections and with the lively community of
researchers that gathers around those collections. Long-term residential
fellowships are available to postdoctoral scholars (and Ph.D. candidates in
the case of the Kade Fellowship) for periods of six to eleven months.
Applicants for postdoctoral awards must hold the Ph.D. at the time of
application. The stipend for these fellowships is up to $40,000. Short-term
residential fellowships are intended for postdoctoral scholars or Ph.D.
candidates from outside of the Chicago area who have a specific need for
Newberry collections. Scholars whose principal residence or place of
employment is within the Chicago area are not eligible. The tenure of
short-term fellowships varies from one week to two months. The amount of
the award is generally $1200 per month. Applications for long-term
fellowships are due January 15, 2004; applications for most short-term
fellowships are due February 15, 2004. For more information or to download
